Visual communication stimulates reproduction in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (L.).
Reproductive fish behavior is affected by male-female interactions that stimulate physiological responses such as hormonal release and gonad development. During male-female interactions, visual and chemical communication can modulate fish reproduction. The aim of the present study was to test the effect of visual and chemical male-female interaction on the gonad development and reproductive beh...
متن کاملEffects of frozen storage on fatty acids profile, chemical quality indices and sensory properties of Red Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus × Tilapia mosambicus) fillets
The aim of the investigation was to determine the changes in fatty acids profile and chemical quality indexes of Red Tilapia fillets during frozen storage at -18°C. The fish were filleted by hand. The prepared fillets were then placed to the polyamide pouches and stored at -18°C for 150 days. Fatty acid profile, sensory properties and chemical quality indices were determined for a five month pe...

متن کاملUrine as a social signal in the mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus).
Despite the high degree of social organization and complex behaviour of many cichlids, little is known about the role of chemical communication in these fish. The Mozambique tilapia is a maternal mouth-brooding cichlid; territorial males congregate in leks and are actively sought by ripe females. When approached by a female, males display a range of well-characterized behaviours such as nestdig...
متن کاملOlfactory sensitivity to steroid glucuronates in Mozambique tilapia suggests two distinct and specific receptors for pheromone detection.
Cichlids offer an exciting opportunity to understand vertebrate speciation; chemical communication could be one of the drivers of African cichlid radiation. Chemical signals mediate key aspects in the lives of vertebrates and often are species specific. Dominant male Mozambique tilapia [Oreochromis mossambicus (Peters 1852)] release a sex pheromone, 5β-pregnan-3α,17α,20β-triol 3-glucuronate and...
